A significant improvement over book two. Significant enough, in fact, and with sufficient impact over the events of said prequel, that it almost redeems the series's apparent great misstep. The people are people again, and in a book about humans, no matter how prefixed, that is essential. Still has plenty of writing issues and still suffers from the author's smarmy know-it-allness, but toys with some great concepts. The series is more and more reminiscent of Stapledon as it progresses, dwelling on Simpson's giddy interest in what humanity could become. This one was just as bad as the last one. This is really disappointing since the first book was pretty good. The writing felt different than in book 2 and 3. In this book, nothing changed from the second book, the dialogue is still clunky and forced, the characters are extremely flat and boring. I just couldn't keep reading this book, I was bored by the story, not connected to the characters and I just would rather read something else. I will not be reading the fourth book and I am extremely glad that I got these for free or I would be very upset that I wasted my money.
Do You like book Trans-Human (2000)?
Like the previous installment, highly recommended! Truly thought-provoking stuff.
